Test Drive Meme #1
Welcome to Fernweh's Test Drive Meme! Do you have an interest in joining the game? Need to make sure the setting works for you and your character first? Or have you made the decision to join the game and need fresh samples for your application? Whatever the reason, feel free to use the scenarios however you wish.
You know what to do! If you don’t, just follow the instructions.
How To Play:
→ Comment with the character you would like to test drive (duplicates are allowed)
→ Choose a scenario or start your own
→ Tag around
→ Have fun!
01. Arrival
You have been sitting and staring at the sign above you for some time now, lost in a blur of swirling questions that seems to start with how you ended up there; in a place (and time, maybe) that you know you weren't an hour earlier. Or maybe you're an old hand at this by now and you've figured out that this is simply another stop that the multiverse bus has made. So why not get off and look around a little?
At any rate, the sign points you towards the direction of a place called "Gazin", which looks like a decent-sized town from where you stand. There has to be someone who can explain.
02. Around Town
So, you've settled in. Well, mostly. At least you know where things are without taking too many wrong turns and ending up in the less desirable areas of town. But now you can go about your day. Visit the market, check out the local shops or have a drink with a new friend at one of several inns.
03. Exploring
You've heard people talk about some pretty interesting places and now you're itching to get out and find them. Be careful though, there are creatures and monsters out there that will be pretty interested in meeting you and may wish to have you for its next meal. Better take someone along. And maybe some weapons, too. Make sure one is made of silver.
04. Monsters
So, you managed to find that location you were looking for. Good for you! Only.. it seems you've also found one of the native creatures to the area and you now face to face with it. Um. Good luck! We'll see you when you get back!
Hopefully.
05. Celebration
It won't take long for you to figure out that people of Gazin are, all in all, pretty happy people. It shows, too, when a seemingly quiet evening suddenly bursts into a random, impromptu party to celebrate whatever good fortune has touched a person. Name Days, good harvests, betrothals, weddings, or just life in general.
Sing, dance, drink and be happy, too!
06. Wild Card!
Want something else? Feel free to choose your own adventure or mix and match to create something completely different!

"I'll just have a conference call with myself later to explain that thinking out loud is frowned upon." Not that he was sure anyone around here would know what a conference call was, but sometimes words just tumbled out of Duo's mouth without him realizing it until he had already said them. "But you can't say that you haven't had conversations with yourself before. Weighing pros and cons for something or other?"
He lifted a hand to wave it a bit in a dismissive manner.
no subject
"I've had conversations with myself once or twice, I'll admit to it. Sometimes you'll want to talk to someone worth your time." She gave him an amused look. "Not that you and yourself would know a lot about that."
She looked around, her gaze eventually returning to the stall he had been eyeing. "Now why, I wonder, were you weighing the pros and cons of stealing? A bit down on your luck, aren't you?"
no subject
His stomach gave another growl as he lifted his arms to clasp his hands behind his head.
"Let's just say I traveled far lighter than what I should have." He only had the clothes on his back, the cross around his neck, and a pair of work gloves that he stuffed in his coat pocket. No money, as he had fallen asleep in his own room before he ended up here.
Not that this place would have accepted what money he did have.
"I haven't stolen food since I was a kid. I'm not about to fall off the band wagon now." He still had his pride after all.
no subject
She hadn't exactly arrived carrying a wealth of goods to be bartered either, but at least she'd had a few coins on her and she was well-suited to surviving in the wilderness. Between these skills and her magic, she didn't need much.
"You're lucky that this place is used to hapless strangers. I hear there's a tavern full of rowdy, reeking people who will happily take you in for some coins yet to be earned." She wrinkled her nose. Now this had to count as her good deed of the year, for sure.
no subject
He cut a glance to the woman and raised a brow. She was giving him good intel, but didn't seem too keen about it. Ah, he got it. His smile softened some, and he offered a nod to her.
"I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks for the info."
no subject
"Don't thank me," she added with a snort. She crossed her arms over her chest. "You were just looking pitiful." She paused for a moment, fighting with herself. "You could hunt in the forest, or forage, though there's not much to forage at this time of the year."
no subject
He simply shrugged, still smiling.
"I can pout with the best of them if it can get me what I need." Chuckling, Duo shifted as though he was going to head back towards the inn. Tavern. Thing. "And I'd be all for hunting or foraging if I even knew what I was looking for. I don't think they sell the kinds of weapons I'm use to, and the Doc who trained me didn't think that I'd need to know how to live out in the wild since most of my time was spent in towns and cities." Ah, the joys of living in space with advanced modern technology.
no subject
But she is a lot nicer to him already than she ever was to Alistair. Like it or not, her heart of ice may indeed be melting.
"I grew up in the Koncari Wilds, a cold expanse of forest and swamps teeming with dangerous animals... and worse things. If you are city-born, you will want to stay out of this forest. I heard it has its fair share of dangers, too, though I can't imagine it being anywhere near as dangerous as what I have known every day."
no subject
"I'll take your word for it. As fun as it is to look for trouble, if it's gonna get me killed, I think I'll just avoid it." Duo glanced at the woman, giving her a good once over. She didn't seem like she could handle it, but what was the saying? Fool me once... Duo knew better than to underestimate someone based on their looks.
"Were you originally from a place like this?"
no subject
"Yes, I'm from someplace very similar. Why, it might even be the same world, for all I can tell, just a different continent. We don't know what lays beyond our continent, we only have rumors about people from beyond the sea." She reached for the staff she carried on her back. "They have magic here, too, but they don't hate mages... or are foolish enough to try and lock them up." An attempt which she clearly wouldn't take kindly to.
no subject
The magic of this world, and even of this other woman's home was still very much unreal to Duo. He lived in a world of science and technology and space travel. Magic shows had always been simple sleight of hand tricks. Creating fireballs in the palm of your hand or shooting lightning from a stick? Excuse him for trying to wrap his mind around it all.
All the same, he took his gaze from the woman and looked out in the direction he knew the ocean to be in.
"Do you think it's possible to go out there to find out? Or do you even want to find out, if...mages are locked away where you're from?" He glanced to the woman to gauge her reaction.
